Politicians Eyeing Capehart Campaign Seeks Republican Senate Nomination Indianapolis Feh Ik, — (t'P) — | Observers on both sides of th«-] Hoosier political fence are watch-1 ing the campaign which has been started by Homer Capehart, wealthy Republican candidate who seeks the G.O.P senatorial nominati n. There are some who believe that the organisation gathered in man euvering for delegate strength Is strong enough to make him a cinch for the nomination Those who believe this are not ign ring other possible candidates, including navy Lieutenant James Tucker, the formore secretary of state now awaiting a medicl discharge in a Memphis. Tenn, hospital. Tucker is the Paoli officer who was wounded at Salerno. He suffers acute asthma and is reported to have been recommended for a dis- harge alx ut two weeks ago. The usual time for such a recommendation to be cleared In Washington is 30 daye Observers say he will throw his hat into the ring if he teceivea the discharge. On the other hand, the Capehart cause Is off to an early start -that's often a powerful weapon Also, he is an organiser, a salesman and a businessman His campaign was launched with all the care and enthusiasm that he used when he first began selling juke lanes fi r the Wuriltxer company. His campaign manager is state Henator Robert Miller of Bloomington, a lawyer who is well ITked by Republicans in his district. There has been a report of rivalry between Capebart and state GO F. chairman Ralph Gates, who h the strongest gubernatorial possibility. That bas not reached the public stage H wever. it is off the face of the earth. However, he adds that the Germans had movthought that Capehari may align hime«df with another candidate for governor, possibly Fort Wayne Mayor Harry Baals. And atrium virate may be formed with the addition of Glen Hillis of Kokomo as an aspirant for the sh'-ri-term senatorship Meanwhile, the industrialist contianes making speeches before voting groups who may be inffueatial la placing bl* name on the ballot
